11-12th April 2026 - Torino, IT 🇮🇹🇯🇵🐕

2nd SHINBOKUTEN - AKIHO Europe is proud to announce the 2nd Shinbokuten, set to take place on 11-12 April 2026 in Torino, Italy.

Shinbokuten, combining the kanji for “friendship” and “exhibition”, is a special event organised by AKIHO Europe, held separately from the official exhibitions of Akita Inu Hozonkai Headquarters, with the aim of fostering friendship, learning, and exchange among AKIHO overseas members.

The event offers an opportunity to deepen understanding of the Akita Inu, with guidance and explanations provided by MATSUSHIMA Seiji, AKIHO Kansai Main Branch Director and former AKIHO Vice President, serving as instructor for this study-oriented program.

Further details will be shared in due course. In the meantime, spread the word: Japan Returns to Europe!

We look forward to seeing you in Torino.

The AKIHO Heritage Collection is a special-edition initiative by AKIHO Europe, created to honour the legacy of the Akita Inu—designated as a Tennen Kinenbutsu (Natural Monument) of Japan—and its significance in Japanese culture.

Made from premium 215 GSM organic cotton for comfort and durability, it is designed with a classic, slightly relaxed silhouette. It features “Akita Inu Hozonkai - Odate • Japan - Est. 1927” embroidered in a single colour on the front, a full-colour Akita Inu illustration printed on the back, and the AKIHO Europe logo on the inside neck label.

Produced in limited quantities, this collection is available by pre-order only in three variations—Aka (Red), Tora (Brindle), and Shiro (White)—representing the coat colours of the Akita Inu. Orders will be delivered in time for the holiday season.
